Seeking football pools betting tips for the weekend’s games? We’ve got just what you’re looking for, in addition to things like EFL betting tips that you can check out whenever you please!
On this very page, we’ve covered a unique form of pools betting known as score draws. For the predictions to receive the most points, the selected matches must involve goals at both ends, while the ultimate result ends in a draw. As for the scoring system, it’s very simple:
- Score draw: 3 points
- No-score draw (0-0): 2 points
- Home or away win: 1 point
So, there’s the system – but what games should you throw into the mix?

Our expert football pools betting tips
With plenty of domestic football coming up, we’ve filtered things down to just six games to include in our weekend football pools picks:
Tottenham vs West Ham (Premier League)
Tottenham has been in fine form over the last few months, performing well in the Premier League and in Europe. The same can be said for West Ham, which adds extra bite to what should already be a feisty affair. As for why this game features in our football pools betting tips for score draws, two of the last five between these two have been score draws.

Adding to that, the last two away games for West Ham in the Premier League have resulted in score draws, too. So, based on recent statistics and previous head to head games, we feel this game deserves shortlisting.
Liverpool vs Chelsea (Premier League)
This game is scheduled for Sunday, 20 October 20. And as we all know, Anfield is never an easy place to go to and get a result. Of course, Liverpool are the Premier League leaders right now, which makes this an extra tough challenge for Chelsea. So, why have we got this game in our weekend football pools picks?

Well, five of the last six Premier League meetings between these two have finished in draws. Three of those five draws finished as score draws, too, which gives a natural chance of the same occurring here.
Stoke vs Norwich City (Championship)
Moving down the leagues for our pools betting tips now, we’ve chosen the Championship clash between Stoke and Norwich City. Stoke have been a consistent, if not cagey, team this season, scoring 10 goals in 9 games but conceding 12 in the process. As for Norwich, they’ve been solid, scoring 16 goals in 9 matches.

This already shows that both teams are averaging more than 1.00 goals per game this season. Additionally, in the last four matches contested at Stoke, two have been draws and one has been a very tight 3-2 victory for Norwich.
Cardiff vs Plymouth (Championship)
Sticking with the Championship, our next selection is Cardiff vs Plymouth. This one has a real possibility of finishing as a score draw for a few key reasons, hence it deserves mentioning among our football pools betting tips for the weekend. Firstly, the last time these teams played in the Welsh capital the game ended 2-2.

Secondly, both of these teams have struggled to keep a clean sheet all season, which means goals could come at both ends. And when they do, the chance of a score draw naturally rises.
Lincoln vs Birmingham (League One)
The last match we’ve picked for potential score draws this weekend is Lincoln vs Birmingham. With Birmingham leading the pack in League One, they can clearly score goals – 17 in just 9 games, as it happens. The same goes for Lincoln, who has scored 15 goals in 9 matches. Already, this gives the game a clear reason for being added to our pools betting tips for the weekend.

Furthermore, Lincoln has drawn three of their last five games in League One – two of which were score draws.
